Psychological Evaluations

I am happy to conduct a psychological evaluation in most cases. This will consist of us meeting for 90 minutes to go over your concerns and specific circumstances. I will use a standardized form to make sure that all necessary components are addressed, and I may ask clarifying questions or request additional information depending on your responses. Once I have completed the clinical interview, I will go over my findings with you and give you the chance to ask any questions that you may have. If a form or letter confirming a diagnosis is needed, please allow up to a one-week turnaround time. Note that I do not currently conduct forensic, custodial, or Department of Transportation (DOT) evaluations. Please see below for specific cases and my requirements for each situation.

 

Disability Accommodations for College

Please be sure to have any forms or letter requirements from the college/university ready for your appointment if possible. If you have used accommodations in the past through a 504 or IEP, be ready to discuss these accommodations with me as I will need to know what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past.

 

Outside Diagnostic Evaluations for K-12 504s/IEPs

I am able to serve as an outside evaluator for individuals seeking a diagnosis or second opinion so that a child can access accommodations within the K – 12 school system. I have five years of experience as a K – 12 teacher and hold an M.Ed. in special education as well as a teaching license, thus I possess a thorough knowledge of what needs to be established to obtain a 504 or IEP.

 

Bariatric and Gender Confirmation Surgery

I am pleased to offer psychological clearance evaluations for individuals seeking bariatric or gender confirmation surgery. Note that each surgeon and hospital is different in what their requirements are. Some require a form while others require a letter that addresses specific components. Please be sure to have this information available prior to your appointment if possible.

 

Situations Not Covered Above

If I did not address your specific situation and you’re still interested in, or need, a diagnostic evaluation, feel free to email me and I will determine if I am able to assist you. If not, I will refer you to a provider that may be a better fit for your needs.
